Book Description

May 3, 2006

You've graduated from college. Now what?

It's a question that everyone in your position has to answer. But as soon as you ask it, that one question can lead to countless others: Who am I? Where am I going? What are my passions in life? Am I making the right decisions? Why is it so difficult to meet people? Will I ever find a job that I love? Will I ever truly be happy? And once you think you've found the answers, you still have to do-something.

Your academic education has prepared you for practical tasks like finding a job or a place to live, but many of the challenges you'll face after college require a different set of skills that are psychological in nature. This book can help you develop these skills by putting the most cutting-edge psychological research at your fingertips to help you overcome the obstacles you'll face throughout this trying and exciting time in your life.

The Turbulent Twenties Survival Guide is your roadmap to:

  • Developing the independence and self-reliance to accomplish your goals
  • Coping with uncertainty, doubt, and postcollege depression
  • Managing today's overwhelming number of choices
  • Cultivating the emotional intelligence to make it in today's economy
  • Exploring ways to build a supportive community of friends and loved ones

The Turbulent Twenties Survival Guide is truly a remarkable and much needed guide to life after college. It will help young people deal with the psychological challenges that arise upon graduation from college. A must read!
-Ronald F. Levant, Ed.D., ABPP, dean and professor of psychology at the University of Akron and coeditor of A New Psychology of Men

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read., January 11, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Turbulent Twenties Survival Guide: Figuring Out Who You Are, What You Want, and Where You're Going After College (Paperback)
As someone who was very much a "traditional college student" -- lived on campus all 4 years, many of my friends were at college, my entire WORLD pretty much revolved around what was happening at school... jobs, volunteering, Greek life, etc. -- leaving the world of college has been very traumatic for me. I liked this book because it's inspirational, but also gives specific, psychology-based strategies for avoiding falling deeper into the slump someone might find themselves in after leaving the safe, structured world of college, if that was the world one thrived in. For people who hated college, didn't live on campus, didn't really feel that college was "for them," this book might be a waste of time... But I really enjoyed it. If you're going through depression as a result of not really knowing who you are when you're no longer a student at [insert university name here], this book will probably be a helpful read for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars I can't relate to this book..., January 5, 2011
This review is from: The Turbulent Twenties Survival Guide: Figuring Out Who You Are, What You Want, and Where You're Going After College (Paperback)
I'm 25 and will be finally finishing my second degree. I have lived at home all throughout college except one summer. I've worked almost full time all throughout college as well. I will now be moving away from home at the end of this upcoming semester once I graduate.

I received this book as a x-mas gift from my sister and her husband along with other move out type books. This one I could not relate to at all. I think it's just because I am a non-traditional college student. I felt like I was reading something for someone who was entering college. After high school I pretty much went through what people who are graduating from college are going through. Long hours at work plus at school. It's odd but it's easier for me to make friends outside of college than in it. And I think it is because I'm already past the "I'm graduating and out in the real world" phase; I've already been in it.

So, yeah this book would be helpful for a traditional college student. Meaning someone who lived at a dorm, never worked but during their holiday breaks, and went to frat parties every weekend.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's a self help book, December 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Turbulent Twenties Survival Guide: Figuring Out Who You Are, What You Want, and Where You're Going After College (Paperback)
Not what I expected. I consider it to be the typical self help book, too corny and full of "steps to follow". It wasn't for me.
